The ingredients of CCA are the heavy metals copper, chromium and arsenic. They don’t decompose and can’t be destroyed like organic compounds by incineration.
Deleting a site from the NPL happens when cleanup of the contamination is complete and allows residents to move forward in reusing and redeveloping the land.
The following white paper provides an abbreviated overview of two laboratory experiments and a fieldwork demonstration that showed evidence for the biodegradation of contaminants from CAC.
The colloidal activated carbon (CAC) technologies developed by REGENESIS, PetroFix and PlumeStop, are often paired with biostimulating electron acceptors or donors to destroy adsorbed contaminants.
A new study featured in the Winter 2022 issue of the REMEDIATION Journal assessed the factors affecting in situ colloidal activated carbon (CAC) remediation of PFAS at airport sites.
On Tuesday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine gave an update on the Norfolk Southern 50-car train derailment that took place Feb. 3 in East Palestine, Ohio, and the subsequent controlled burn of toxic chemicals.
By optimizing the ratio of boron nitride to PFAS, the team almost completely removed the fluorine atoms from PFAS in four hours at ambient temperature and pressure.
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Superfund Research Program annual meeting highlighted ways to promote environmental justice and reduce health disparities.
